Call for Papers for "Beyond the Written Source"

IAWIS, the International Association of Word and Image Studies, is
sponsoring a session at the 2005 Annual Meeting of the CAA entitled
"Beyond the Written Source." This session explores visual works and
their relationship to verbal texts by questioning the traditional art
historical quest for written sources. Recent scholarship has used various
conceptual models to understand the relationship between words and
images, including exegesis, appropriation, and translation, among others.
This session hopes to gather case studies which question traditional
philologically-informed approaches, so, for example, those in which the
direction from text to image is reversed, or where images and text are
contradictory or competitive, and iconotexts, as well as more general and
theoretical issues.

Please send proposals of 300 words or less and a one-page CV to Véronique
Plesch (vbpleschcolby.edu), or Laura Saltz (lsaltzcolby.edu), by May
14, 2004. The annual meeting of the CAA, the College Art Association,
will be held in Atlanta, GA from Feb. 16-19, 2005.
